Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Birthday gift from the missus. Clear straw colour. Fairly decent white foam. Clean grain and lightly spicy leafy hop. Easy going and bright on the palate. Maybe errs a little sweet overall. Touch of bitterness on the finish. Steady away. I’d happily do multiples.

Fles gedeeld met Keukeman en Roelzie. Het is een licht troebel bleekgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van mout en hop. De smaak is is zacht, grapefruit en hop achtig.

Bottle in a Qwerty Beer Box. Aroma has malts, hay, an earthiness. Light fruit. Clear medium gold. Foamy translucent white head. Sweet citrus (so a touch sour) honey and malts. Light bitterness on the periphery. A hint of soggy cardboard. As I drink more the sourness amps up, if not to particularly high levels. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Refreshing enough.
